a perfect fit for the modern democrats, don’t worry buddy we won’t go undercover to smeer you. I believe isn’t that a tactic of the left anyway, posts and radio calls along the lines I WAS A REPUBLICAN until blah blah Bush Blah Blah. Once again the left projects their true selves onto us.

Isn’t this an admission that his show is really a propaganda program for the political left? It’s not a news show. Hell, it’s not even an opinion show. It’s a political ad for the left.

He’s saying, “If you criticize my show, the regressives will use that criticism against me. And because my show is about promoting the “progressive” against those reactionaries you will weaken or harm my efforts.”

Maybe he should be less concerned about what NewsMax thinks and more concerned about the fact that critics on the left actually DO think he’s gone too far. Bob Somerby might be a douchebag, but he’s been absolutely right on Olbermann being a partisan hack who will stoop to any level in order to smear the “bad guys”, even when the bad guys are as innocuous as a (now-former) beauty queen.

btw… pretty sure his co-workers Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow get busted on Kos all the time for not showing Obama their due fealty. And yet neither of them feel the need to create accounts and defend their honor to the Internet. I wonder why.

Which journalist from the now defunct NBC News Organization suffered a severe mental breakdown during the impeachment trials of the 44th President of the United States and is now living out his days in an insane asylum located in Juneau, Alaska.

From a rhetorical standpoint, that Olbermann post has all the flair and function of a 7th grade bathroom conversation: “Ummm, Suzy? Like, Sally said you’re a slut, and like, I know you don’t really like me but, ummm, I thought you should just know what Sally said cuz, like, you might totally hate me but, like, Sally’s even worse than me. Dontcha think?”

It is adolescent in both its tone and diction, laced with “whatever,” the Facebook-style abbreviations of “RW” for right wing, use of the word “stuff,” and folksy syntax like “I ain’t linking to these doggies.”

He’s trying to get what he perceives to be the cool kids to like him, and he’s doing so in the voice of a prepubescent loser who has had his annoying little face shoved in the toilet one too many times. Keith simply never made it out of junior high school — intellectually or socially.
